Copyright in France and Internationally
The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, which has 177 signatory countries, including France, is based on the principle that an intellectual creation is protected once it is in tangible form.
However, in the event of a dispute, it is essential to be able to prove that you have ownership of the work.
One way to prove this is through Copyright.
With Fidealis, you can provide supporting evidence recognized by courts around the world.

Definition of Copyright
Copyright gives any physical or legal person the right of monopoly on exploitationover a work. Copyright is normally indicated by this symbol ©. This Copyright logo may also be accompanied by statements such as All rights reserved or All reproduction prohibited which permit the author to inform third parties that their work has been registered and is protected by Copyright.
Although the Berne Convention has established a common framework for the protection of literary and artistic work between its member states, the difference between authors’ rights and copyright can be distinguished.
Copyright is essentially applied in common law countries, but its use in France has multiple interests concerning literary and artistic property as well as industrial property (designs and models, trademarks, patents). Authors’ rights are applied in civil law countries, mostly in France.
The difference lies not so much in protection but in the philosophy of these two legal tools. Copyright protects the author's economic investment more than their attachment to the work, i.e. their moral rights. This is why it is essential to register copyright.
